§ Order for Committee read.
§ Acts read;—considered in Committee.
§ (In the Committee.)
§ SIR JOHN SHELLEY moved, that the Chairman be directed to move the House for leave to bring in a Bill for regulating the qualifications of chemists and druggists in England and Wales. It was very much to be desired that these two bodies should come together, and as the hon. and learned Gentleman opposite (Sir FitzRoy Kelly) had already a Bill before the House upon this subject, he proposed, if the Motion were agreed to, to fix any future stages of his Bill for the same days as those on which the Bill of the hon. and learned Gentleman were set down, so that, if necessary, they might both be referred to a Select Committee.
§ SIR FITZROY KELLYsaid, that as soon as soon as he was acquainted with the provisions of the Bill about to be introduced he should be happy to communicate with the hon. Baronet, and between them a measure might be agreed upon calculated to work satisfactorily. If, however, as he had some reason to believe, the measure of the hon. Baronet went beyond his own in many particulars, he should be sorry to risk the loss of some one Bill of a practical nature this Session by striving after objects which might prove to be unattainable.
§
Motion agreed to.
Resolved, That the Chairman be directed to move the House, That leave be given to bring in a Bill for regulating the qualifications of Chemists and Druggists in England and Wales.
§ House resumed.
